Then news came that the 30-year-old had opted to turn down the chance to move to Spain, leaving Arsenal as the clear favourites to sign him before Friday’s deadline.

However, it now appears Vucinic has also rejected a potential move to Arsenal with reports once again coming out of Italy suggesting the striker has now decided to remain at Juventus and has taken himself off the market.

It’s certainly been a dramatic few hours in the Vucinic saga but it appears we’ve now finally missed out and he won’t be heading for north London.

Journalists are suggesting the player simply changed his mind or ‘something changed’ at the last minute, but it looks like our search for a new signing continues.

Something must have changed for Vucinic, Arsenal started pursuing him weeks ago and his agent stayed in touch with them @RakSingh1
